What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Storm damage roof report in North Charford: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and stains appearing after strong winds, across flat roofs, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
For a small place like North Charford, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near North Charford can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in North Charford?
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
We’re often asked to look at:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
What to check before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Are they insured for the work?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours

Leaks and storm damage in North Charford
About 2.8 miles west lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around North Charford has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you look after a building such as Hale Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Common questions in North Charford
Is North Charford within the area you cover?
Yes. North Charford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in North Charford listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You’ll then get the report by email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
